Healthy Music for a Healthy Life
The music that I’ve listened to throughout my life has had a huge influence on who I am. For me it’s important to listen to music that positively affects me. Why not be listening to lyrics that will expand my mind and help me to be a positive impact on the world around me? That’s the way I look at it.

Rob, we love this playist! Curreently playing it on a Dutch summer evening.. greetings, Monique and Hans.
Cloud Cult!
YES
Wookiefoot is a must! They are such a conscious band. They hold three festivals a year where all proceeds go to a specific charity. Dustin Thomas as well. Both Wookiefoot and Dustin have roots with Nahko (whose music is fantastic, but live performances and personality seem to lack for me…)
Paul McCartney
My country, India, doesnt have spotify, How can I use this playlist?
Hey Rob, I recently discovered Akala please look him up his lyrics and ethics are spot on. Not to mention his fight against racism in the world. He is spot on.
Just when i thought I couldnt love you more, fleet foxes shows up on this list! Hope youre both having a good time atm!! 🙂
Rising Appalachia for sure!! Wider Circles is such a top-notch album overflowing with positive wisdoms and some serious harmonies https://soundcloud.com/risingappalachia
Check out my music as well. No record label. no producer. I do it all myself. 🙂 https://open.spotify.com/album/4T2z8r00Yz2QagxKeklUTz

Great list of musicians and songs. I would encourage you to listen to Brotha Paul Izak from Waimanalo, HI his message and melodies are sure to sooth the soul. Thanks for the list my friend!!
Great list. I own 90% of it already!
Gareth Asher & The Earthlings…AMAZING, beautiful people and musicians
